Eric, a Waterford Township 11-year-old, was able to get an X-Box this Christmas Eve.

On Tuesday, firefighters from Waterford Regional Fire Department’s Station No. 2 took him out to Meijer to purchase the game console and other gifts, including videos, action figures and more, with donations from a local organization. Eric, whose last name will not be used in this story, lost his father to cancer two years ago.
